Then onto Koukoumavlos for ‘creative greek cuisine’ which turns out to be spectacular. Among the highlights:

  • Beautiful seared tuna on white eggplant puree. (Also a forgettable tartar)
  • Campari Jelly Square
  • Zucchini tartar and scallop and wasabi in millefleur like layers (spectacular)
  • Strawberry semifreddo with a biscuit/chocolate base
  • Eggplant tiramisu! Spectacular and weird.

After dinner we walk a bit around the town - look at jewellery and people and chat and slowly work our way to the highest point above the cable car. We take some night photos of Santorini - it is spectacular in a 70’s movie star way. We head back through the bar district - loud and alcohol driven.

A final glass of wine and a beautiful silver moon of the water at home - then bed.

Dogs and cats wander the streets happily. Every dog has its tail up and looks supremely chilled - different sizes. We see 5 or 6 of them and also lots of cats (which all look like Cy in size).

The restaurant has a balcony above the square - the staff are wonderful. ‘You are welcome’, is a common phrase delivered in a lilting accent. Our waitress says she came on holiday 5 years ago and hasn’t left. Food is lovely; we have a local red wine which is light and tasty. Andrew is developing a taste for brussel sprouts on this holiday, which is strange. He has ordered two dishes with them!
